Style Guides/Brand Guides/Writing Guides for ARPNSA

The request was successful.

Dear Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency,

This is a Freedom of Information Request for the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act 1982.

I request access to the Style Guides/Brand Guides/Writing Guides currently used for the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency,,

In making this request, I note a prior request similar to this which lapsed (https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/s...), and note the agency use of Commonwealth Branding Guidelines.

To clarify this request, I note that various other commonwealth authorities and agencies operate with documents outlining branding, logos and related styles, visual guides, and writing guides. I have attached a similar request to the AEC which turned out some of the documents that are like this for another authority https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/s...

I must apologise for the unceremonial conclusion to the last request, and hope this one is easier to process.

Yours faithfully,

Alex Pentland
